The Hero Dies in This One

I gave in to peer pressure and signed up with Twitter. I'm @dzuelke.

Caek lulz

So this Cake guy looks at Agavi, doesn’t understand that a proper framework can serve more than just a webpage, gets it all wrong, and just won’t admit it. But then, that’s really not the first time someone from that camp is completely overwhelmed by just the same thing, so no surprise there. Can’t they show some dignity?

-edit (2008-03-10 20:52 UTC) -

The guy who uses the framework that sets a page title in the controller removed the Agavi XML-RPC API test example code, which previously was posted with the remark

To make the sample application that comes with Agavi work, you have to build a file that looks like this

just to replace it with

(Author’s note 03/10/08: removed code example as, well, it’s not really relevant to the discussion, other than making me giggle about mixing business logic with presentation logic)

and ask me to correct this blog posting.

So… if you want to count his “correction” as an honest acknowledgement of getting the facts wrong, then I guess you can also consider my remarks about him getting it wrong void.

I really don’t understand why people who have built such a great framework with a big following and a marketing/PR scheme I always could only salute to find it necessary to get this personal and resort to such taunts, but maybe we can meet, some day, some place, have a beer together (that round’s on me, nate!) and talk about other stuff than just our competition.
